After several failed attempts (as Edison said "discovered devices that don't work") I finally have added a powered drive to my Hornady Quick Trickler, which is a fine piece of equipment all on its own. I can throw a charge faster than twiddling the knobs by hand and I actually have finer control on the low range than I can do manually. Now that the hardest part's done I can add optical sensors to my beam balance and interface it all to an Arduino microcontroller and make myself a precision load dispenser which doesn't drift and checking each load will be as simple as looking at the needle on my balance. And I've never in my life seen gravity drift or fail.
At my workbench getting familiar with its operation. The motor and drive mechanism is at the rear, hidden from this viewpoint.
Sorry for the video quality, best I can do right now. Watch the tape marks on the dispenser tube for the activity.
